Okay, last one (from this morning) -

Cold, but a beautiful morning for a ski tour...

Splendid, and I never understood how you "can" hunt these animals. I don't want to argue on it, I also eat meat!

They really are beautiful creatures.

 

[klarie]

yes they are.. but @Jean Mercier they feed on plants. So if these are too many they have negative effects on the area.
so in Yellowstone or in the Netherlands.. in Yellowstone NP Wolves regulate ..
in that park in oostvardersplassen in 2018 reddeer and others starved to death so there were about 3200 corpses..
Hunting no matter by animal predator or human predator.. should proper regulate.. but this need some understanding on Mother Nature hunting means take some .. not extinct.. and value the prey / meat and skin as a gift with respect.

No, I'm not a hunter. But today I had the pleasure to join @Barney at his hunting ground for an afternoon.

Barney had invited me to his hunting ground to show it to me and also to do some smaller work. So we met and drove together to the village where he and his hunting friend have their base with some material they need.



There is also a room to carve the bag.



In the barn there is also an old farmer's workshop, which brings back memories from my childhood, when I spent most of my afternoons at a farmer's house in the neighborhood. Such workshops from the past probably look the same for all farmers: The machineries were still easy to repair.



First we made a small round over the fields and meadows of his district. It was very slippery because the tires on Barney's Grand Cherokee are really at their end of life. But we didn't get stuck. Still, it's high time for the Grenadier to take over.



After that we had a small breakfast from the bakery in town.



There was a lot to talk about, and especially Barney was looking forward to the Grenadier, because he has so practical fanders for the coffee cups ;-)





Then we went into the forest to do some work. The line of sight from the high seat had to be cut free, smaller trees and brushwood had to be removed. Of course only in reasonable work clothes.

A short distance through the undergrowth ...



... to this spot. Part of the line of sight is already cut free here ...



continued ...

... and ends at this surveillance camera.



But one or two things were still to be done.



And actually it became at only 5°C then nevertheless so warm that I even had to hang aside my beloved, old M65.



In the end we've been fast enough so that there was still time for some fun.



So first of all Barney attached a target ...



... which was also visible from the deerstand.



And so was my shot.



Then I discovered this



No, this is not a woman. This is art ...
The forestry commission had decided that a path of art should be established here. The tenants were not asked - not even informed ...

Here one of the "works of art" in the general view.



Finally, Barney made an extended tour of the entire area. Minor work was done immediately, this tree here was in the way.

... continued from previous.



And when our Grenadiers are finally here, it will be even more fun to spend an afternoon there.

A great day, thank you so much, Barney!

Nice write up and good shot

 

[Barney]

Thank you @emax for your support and help and the great photos. I guess I should save a few bucks for a cool camera like yours

 

[Barney]

The animal camera is in a position at a wallow (a bathroom for wild boar),

That's a good idea. But with cameras it's a bit like with cooking pots. The latter don't make the dishes tasty, and the former don't make the pictures pleasant. They are just tools. It also takes a good eye.

But I don't doubt that as a hunter you have at least one eye good enough for that.

Some comment.. .
Its really in every area the same.. permission granted w/o telling or agreement to tenant.
I ve got 3 Seissiger LTE .. cams in areas of interest sufficently away from anywhere were pedestrians are usually walk along.
For sighting & shoot testing I use Alsfeld Range (BDMP) some 45 Minutes driving time..
Although I could use some place for sighting controls. ..
But surprises are part of nature. Thursday night I had an interesting encounter..:

That is a little tit sleeping at top of entry to my high hide.. 2 feet apart where I sat. Just noticed when I left.
Red light is from my headlamp.
These small encounters spice up my life in hunting.. .. Never experienced by couch potatoes.

Your absolutely correct, you can be out all day and not shoot anything but still have a great day with seeing all sorts of wildlife in its natural environment.

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure which thread to post this topic in, so feel free to move or copy…
I am a hunter and dog handler and have two dogs (Bracken).
The plan is to install a dog box for the two dogs in the utility behind the front seats. Access through the left rear door (LHD). In the cargo area, I would install a complete shelf on the left side in the width of the narrow rear door (similar to a classic Landy extension). ideally with long drawers with access from the narrow rear door for two rifles. maybe a gullwing on the side Windows at the back for access to the shelf from the outside. on the right side possibly a seat/lying area with boxes underneath. in the middle of the loading area space for a trough for dead game (Wildwanne).
Do you have any ideas, especially for the dog boxes?
thxs and lot of patience to get your Grenny

You are in the right forum, I don't think we have a hunting forum in the D-A-CH area yet. Do you have Kopovs? I'm planning 2 drawers (divided like the doors) as a floor solution. I don't want to block the rear window. WmH.

Hello @Prometheus I did start a thread called Jagdwagen to discuss D-A-CH hunting matters. We have agreed over there to limit the discussion to clearly regional topics like legal restrictions and such and keep the general hunting discussions in this thread here so that everyone can profit from the international exchange of know how and ideas.

I, by the way am training a young Brandlbracke after my last one died in July last year.

We also have a DOG THREAD where you can share photos of your dogs (name, age,&breed).

BTW: I have no idea how to insert a link to another thread. If someone wants to do that for the Jagdwagen thread, I would be grateful.
